Measurements of the density dependence of the symmetry free energy in low-density clustered matter have been extended using the Neutron Ion Multidetector for Reaction Oriented Dynamics at Texas A&M University. Thermal coalescence models were employed to extract densities rho and temperatures T for evolving systems formed in collisions of 47A MeV Ar-40 + Sn-112, Sn-124 and Zn-64 + Sn-112, Sn-124. Densities of 0.03 <= rho/rho(0) <= 0.2 and temperatures in the range 5-10 MeV have been sampled. The symmetry free energy coefficients are found to be in good agreement with values calculated using a quantum statistical model. Values of the corresponding symmetry free energy coefficient are derived from the data using entropies derived from the model.

Abstract
Measurements of the density dependence of the symmetry free energy in low-density clustered matter have been extended using the Neutron Ion Multidetector for Reaction Oriented Dynamics at Texas A&M University. Thermal coalescence models were employed to extract densities rho and temperatures T for evolving systems formed in collisions of 47A MeV Ar-40 + Sn-112, Sn-124 and Zn-64 + Sn-112, Sn-124. Densities of 0.03 <= rho/rho(0) <= 0.2 and temperatures in the range 5-10 MeV have been sampled. The symmetry free energy coefficients are found to be in good agreement with values calculated using a quantum statistical model. Values of the corresponding symmetry free energy coefficient are derived from the data using entropies derived from the model.Pubblicazioni consigliate
